Congrats nick_newbie!! You should be so proud of yourself. 🎉

Clinical perspective on Paying $300 per month out of pocket - is:

I have managed ~150 patients on GLP-1 therapy and this topic comes up frequently. What the data shows — and what I see in practice — is that the medication works best as part of a comprehensive approach.

For this specific question, I would recommend: getting comprehensive baseline labs first.

Yep. My endo said the same thing about Paying $300 per.

Reading this thread on Paying $300 per month out hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 295 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.

11 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 70 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.

If you are on the fence about Paying $300 per — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
